These are my favorites. Real nice job.

I'm rather intrigued by the whole "identity design" aspects of graphic/digital design. It's something we touch every now and again in my classes. I wish I had more experience with it. By and large, these designs are clean and refined. I dig 'em.
Some semi-educated suggestions:

gibsondrip.jpg: maybe a little bit more contrast between SUPPLY and INC.

gibsonshadow.jpg: Seems like you could bring IBSON closer to the G, and maybe even bring the G over a little to left so that is visually syncs more with that over-hanging tail of the S andthat should bring the right-hand side of the N in GIBSON more in line with the rhs of Y in SUPPLY

glenblue.jpg: neat idea, but I'm not sure how successful it is here.

glenhouse.jpg: what if the two text lines were flushly right-justified? And then the box could be cropped to fit? The text is kinda floaty right now. Nice contrast of thick and thin with Glen Schofield, though.

gymquestdots.jpg: Nice typeface and nice use of spacing, and nice hierarchy with the dots. But be careful with those dots. They're a little too reminiscent of recent Microsoft stylings for my comfort.

PS. I really like your site design.
Actually, in my experience, the logo is only the very tip of the iceberg. You shouldn't get too obsessed with 'designing logos' as to design successful logos you have to have a deep appreciation of the company/organization, its place in the world its products and marketing strategy. Then you can visually engineer a logo that matches all aspects.
